Thursday’s blow-out revelations about Rob Ford’s troubled private life were months—even years—in the making. In that time, Torontonians have been exposed to images of the mayor that are now seared into our collective unconscious. With the release of the 474-page police document on Thursday, a whole slew of equally memorable and provocative images flooded the mediascape. Here, a photographic trip through the Rob Ford crack scandal, from the early images that now seem so innocent, to the newly released shockers that are greeting the city for the first time.

On St. Patrick’s Day 2012, fellow revelers saw Ford “stumbling down the street” near the Bier Markt on the Esplanade. A staffer at the bar told the <i>Toronto Star </i>that Ford was “hammered” and that they eventually asked him to leave after he stormed the dance floor
